Hello again, I’m back again, this time with another bat! But not just any bat, a very special bat. And also one that has caused me to retcon add a bit of lore, but eh, who cares. Anyway, let’s start with the lore
The sun was starting to set, and Cocoa was getting worried. She had looked all over Spaghetti Castle, but she couldn’t find Pizza anywhere, even in her favorite hiding places. Cocoa was just about ready to call a search party, when a cloaked figure approached her.
“Reveal yourself!” Cocoa called out to the figure. The figure seemed unfazed by Cocoa’s demand, and continued to approach, speeding up slightly. Cocoa opened her mouth to call out for the guards, but as the words began to leave her lips, the cloaked figure rushed her and put a hand around her mouth silencing her.
“Don’t say a word unless you want to die, nod if you understand” the figure whispered in her ear. Cocoa’s eyes widened and she nodded her head. “Good” the hooded figure continued. The figure took their hand away from Cocoa’s mouth. “Now follow me.” Cocoa followed the figure in silence to a dark corner, where they were mostly hidden from view.

The figure pulled their hood down and revealed themself to be a green snake woman. “I am working with an anarchist group who is going to take down this kingdom later tonight. It is my understanding that you are not a fan of your husband and are not opposed to his downfall. If that is the case, we would be happy to let you and your daughter live under two conditions. Condition one, you help us take down the kingdom. Condition two, you never attempt to regain this kingdom when it falls and relinquish your noble ties. Do you accept this offer?” The strangers spoke swiftly and quietly, making Cocoa’s head swim with all of the info in such a short time.
Cocoa thought about her life in the castle and her husband, the self proclaimed “king” of the bats. She thought about her old family, whom she had been ripped away from when she was much too young to marry the King. She thought about the abuse she suffered at his hands after her affair with Cauliflower, another one of her tormentors. And she thought about her daughters, pizza and Eucalyptus. She wondered where they were, and if Eucalyptus was even still alive. Then she looked at the stranger, a burning anger she had never felt before burning in her eyes. She nodded in agreement. “What do you need me to do.” The stranger smiled and said “I’m glad to have you on our side. My name is SSSlurpee. Here’s what we need from you…”

Cocoa walked into her bedroom, where the King was waiting for her on the bed. “How was your day darling?” He asked her as she sat down next to him on the bed. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, but she shrugged him off, as she often did.
“It was fine” Cocoa replied, sounding distant as she fidgeted with the dagger hidden under her wing. Cocoa was nervous, she was afraid of what came next. Though she knew Pizza was safe for now, she still worried that Smesh and his anarchists would betray her. The King gave Cocoa a look, which she knew to mean ‘what is that supposed to mean?’ Cocoa then felt anger welling up once again and her face contorted into a scowl. “Why did you take me from them when I was so young” she asked, the King, avoiding his eyes.
“What do you mean?” He asked her, trying to look into her eyes. With those words, something in Cocoa snapped, and she whipped around to look at him
“MY FAMILY!” She shouted, pulling the dagger out of its sheath and lunging at the King. This surprising burst of speed and adrenaline allowed Cocoa to easily overpower the King, despite his fighting prowess, and Cocoa stabbed him in the heart, the slit his throat. Then it was over. Covered in the King’s blood, Cocoa slumped back watching the King take his last breath, which he used to utter a single word “Sor…ry.” SSSlurpee slid into the room from the hall, and walked over to Cocoa, putting a hand on her shoulder. Cocoa then burst into tears, and pulled SSSlurpee into a hug, crying into her shoulder. SSSlurpee awkwardly patted her on the back.
“Ssshhhh” SSSlurpee soothed. “We need to get you out of here before Schnitzel arrives. Use the map I gave you and take the secret passages out of the castle. I’ll meet you at the old elm tree on the outskirts, I just have one more thing to do” Cocoa quieted herself and nodded, tears still streaming down her cheeks. She gave SSSlurpee on last squeeze then started walking toward the secret passage. She grabbed a cloak on her way out of her room, then looked back at SSSlurpee and said “promise you’ll come find me.” SSSlurpeed looked Cocoa dead in the eyes. “I will” she said.
After Cocoa escaped the castle, SSSlurpee used the body of a guard to stage Cocoa’s death, so that Schnitzel would not suspect anything was amiss. After the night was over, SSSlurpee asked Smesh if she could take Cocoa and leave the group, to protect the former queen. Smesh allowed her too, and she has protected Cocoa ever since. After a time, the two developed feelings for one another, or perhaps they were there from day one. Either way, they began a relationship together, and when they felt it was safe, they began searching for Cocoa’s daughters.
After much searching, the couple found a hut in the woods outside of Spaghetti Castle, and who did they find living there but both Eucalyptus and Pizza! Oh, and also cauliflower, who was someone that Cocoa was not particularly happy to see. Here are pictures of their beautiful reunion

Alright, that’s it! I know it was a long post, so if you’ve gotten this far, thanks!
Have a good day y’all!
